A Flickering Flame

The pews are crowded but the flame burns low,
So little fire and power but a whole lot of show,
How many once hot hearts have a flickering flame,
Once unbridled zeal and passion now are tamed,
O Spirit, breath, and God who answers by fire,
Fill us, consume us, flood our souls with desire,
For more flame burning down deep in our souls,
Smoldering embers fanned to flame wind blown,
We can never be content with a smoldering zeal,
When the flame of the Holy Spirit has now sealed,
The flickering flame must once again be revived,
So the flame no longer flickers but still thrives.
